Automated Install of Several Programs

This is a general question about AutoIt and how it works... I found a script (and subsequently modified it heavily) that gives me several applications to choose from, then I check which ones I want installed, then it installs them for me. The problem at the moment is that it doesn't wait until the previous install is finished before it continues to the next one.

I've been playing around with AutoIt for a few days, and I really like it. Thus far, I've managed to solve all my problems in writing scripts, but to be honest, I'm kinda tired of searching for hours to find some simple function that I didn't realize was there (it took me 3 hours to figure out that the "AutoIt Window Info" app was in the start menu...).

Is there some easy way I can tell it to wait until the previous AutoIt-launched window is closed before opening a new install?

You're right, of course. Sorry for such a dumb question... I knew it was something easy (I was looking at all manner of sleep(), do...until, when...wend, if...then, etc. I figured it was something easy.
